Hi folks.
I've just got my hands on a Mark Bass Jeff Berlin Player's School combo - 250w, 15in speaker.
It's proved itself in three band rehearsals so far, competing with a reasonable drummer (a rarity, I know!) and a guitarist who occasionally gets too loud.
However, we've a couple of bar gigs coming up soon, with only basic PA support (vocals only, I believe), and I'm worried I might need just a bit more punch.
I'm thinking of getting the matching NY Blackline 151 cab.
I've a couple of questions...
1. I'd like to place the combo and extension speaker either side of the drummer, but I've heard there are possible phasing issues.
I've really no idea about the technical/theory stuff so while I gather it's probably best to just stack them I'd just like to know is it possible without causing some sort of cosmic upheaval?
2. Is it better to just sit the cab(s) flat on the ground or tilted or on a beer crate or something?
3. Does anyone who has one of these have any favourite settings?
It seems popular to leave everything pretty much flat and just use the VLE/VPF controls to adjust eq.
(We're playing a collection of standard rock/blues covers - Cream, Rory Gallagher, Stones, etc., I'm using a Fender P with flats)
